Winter in Friuli (January 2017)

The biting cold of these days makes us feel the real spirit of winter in Friuli.

Low temperatures are combined with a cold eastern wind called Bora: it is not easy to work in the open air for the entire day in this situation. Yet it is the best time for pruning, for removing unwanted wood twigs from vines giving them a new shape to face the new season.

Rule n. 1 for men and women at work: to keep high the rhythm of their movements and dress warmly from head to toe. It is clear that in these conditions the best clothes are mountain outfits made of light materials yet able to keep bodies warm. Here is another example where innovation supports tradition.
